Summary
Predicted to enable several functions, including ADP-D-ribose modification-dependent protein binding activity; oxidized DNA binding activity; and poly-ADP-D-ribose binding activity. Predicted to contribute to 3' overhang single-stranded DNA endodeoxyribonuclease activity. Involved in base-excision repair; response to hypoxia; and response to xenobiotic stimulus. Predicted to be located in chromosome and nuclear lumen. Predicted to be part of ERCC4-ERCC1 complex. Predicted to be active in nucleus and site of DNA damage. Used to study in situ carcinoma. Biomarker of asphyxia neonatorum; middle cerebral artery infarction; and transient cerebral ischemia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including artery disease (multiple); carcinoma (multiple); central nervous system cancer (multiple); gastrointestinal system cancer (multiple); and hematologic cancer (multiple). Orthologous to human XRCC1 (X-ray repair cross complementing 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
